Be equipped to tackle the network security challenges faced by Australian businesses, services and industry with this specialised course in cyber security
Cyber attacks on Australian networks are an ever-increasing threat to individuals, businesses and national security and there is currently a skills shortage in this very specialised sector of the IT industry. You'll gain insights into mitigation techniques that are key to tackling potential cyber attacks faced by modern industry by completing North Metropolitan TAFE's Certificate IV in Cyber Security.
Our Certificate IV in Cyber Security is a technician level qualification that will provide you with the knowledge and a comprehensive set of technical skills that will mean you are job ready and highly employable.
There are two study options for this course - "On campus" (face to face, full time), or a combination option "Online and on campus" evening classes.
The "Online and on campus" study option for this course is ideal for IT staff who want to upskill into a Cyber Security role or for the newly passionate cyber enthusiasts. New candidates with a limited background in IT should consider the "On campus" study option for the Certificate IV in Cyber Security, or the Certificate III in Information Technology (Cyber Security).
This qualification is directly aligned with priority industry areas where jobs are today, and into the future. As part of the state government Lower fees, local skills program, through to 31 December 2025 you'll only pay half the tuition fees (plus resource fee) capped at $1,200; or $400 if you're aged 15—24 or eligible for a concession.
